About

Consider the fantastic as well as the profound aspects of absurdism, expressionism, futurism, irrealism, magic-realism and/or surrealism. Bring these considerations into the twenty-first century with completely unique styles and original themes, and you're on the right path. Categorized; perhaps imaginative literature, literary fantasy, or postmodernism. Please, no pop genres unless conceptually advanced, deeply provocative or satiric.
